Suffered Retaliation!

They’ve gone mad!

Hittory’s inadvertent discovery, after continuous spread, went viral around the globe.

Especially for the addicts who were extremely well-informed and quick to catch on to any scoop.

They soon found out that the pricey Detox Pill also had a surprisingly euphoric effect.

Just one was enough.

Floating like a fairy, happiness boundless.

A bunch of foreigners, known for their boldness, craziness, and suicidal tendencies, quickly followed suit.

Especially the wealthy, reckless, hardcore, gold-spending gamers unlocked new tricks with the Detox Pill.

As it turned out,

there’s a reason why there were so few foreigners.

For instance, dancing awkwardly in public…

Jumping into animal enclosures to chase lions, teasing black bears…

Dancing the moonwalk on rooftops that terrified those with acrophobia…

Dancing energetically on car roofs amidst busy highways…

They embodied the saying “You don’t die until you misbehave,” showing off their wealth without restraint.

Expert among civilians, but accidents happen in the dark, with videos left for all to watch.

Hardcore and gold-rich, their uploaded videos drove countless netizens mad.

Of course!

A single Detox Pill, auctioned for about two hundred thousand, would cost at least fifty or sixty thousand Gold Coins abroad.

Getting a hold of a Detox Pill was already a symbol of power and wealth.

And using these life-saving Detox Pills for a drug-induced joy was undoubtedly the ultimate show of opulence.

No commodity could compare to the Detox Pill!

It was not only exorbitantly expensive but also brought joy without any side effects, addiction, or obstacles and even promoted detoxification and beautification…

It was simply the ideal ‘wealth-flaunting gadget’!

Top-notch foreign tycoons were all playing crazily.

At parties, anyone who didn’t offer Detox Pill to their guests was viewed as lacking class and too vulgar.

Those who hadn’t tried Detox Pills were ridiculed and sneered at as symbols of poverty.

However…

Countries participated in the auction, spending massive amounts on each pill.

These pills, originally hoped by millions of ordinary citizens abroad to completely eradicate the virus, turned into a playful miracle drug for the rich.

Yet, every day, people were still dying from diseases like the Sakuragi Hana Virus, AIDS, cancer, leukemia, and other serious illnesses…

Wealthy homes reeked of meat and wine, while bodies froze to death in the streets!

These hard-core, gold-spending gamers’ show-off videos, fiercely spreading online, also triggered enormous uproar.

Especially among the foreign citizens who desperately needed Detox Pills.

Furious reporting, cursing, protesting, denouncing…

They demanded that their national representatives involved in the auctions must soon give an explanation.

Why weren’t the hugely expensive Detox Pills used entirely to curb the viral epidemic and treat serious illnesses?

How did these wealthy individuals in the videos obtain the Detox Pills for leisure under strict regulations?

Why, despite securing so many Detox Pills at auction, were patients with rare diseases still dying?

Why had the Liuli Continent lifted epidemic controls and cured all infected patients, yet progress was still slow in their countries?

Why…

All sorts of pressing questions emerged endlessly.

Foreigners were conventionally tough; if they were unsatisfied or unhappy, they would quickly take to the streets.

Lo and behold!

Shortly after the videos spread, many citizens were completely enraged.

The epidemic control had just been completed, and they were still in the process of rebuilding.

Now countless people took to the streets in riot, risking all their previous efforts.

Thus~

Countries quickly sprang into action.

On one hand, they urgently controlled the internet to prevent the spread of pretentious, wealth-flaunting, drug-using videos.

On another hand, they took immediate control of the situation, imposing strict martial law and warnings to prevent further chaos.

Of course, they also immediately held press conferences to respond to public queries.

Countries were remarkably unanimous.

They revealed the use and storage details of the auctioned Detox Pills, convincing the public that not a single pill was unaccounted for or misused for personal gain and concluded that the pills in the hands of the wealthy were due to the numerous kidnapping cases.

As everyone knows, to rescue his compatriots, Wu Jie had redeemed all the hostages at a ratio of twenty to one.

So, inevitably, the kidnappers’ hundreds of thousands of Detox Pills gradually ended up in the hands of wealthy individuals in various countries.

Multiple countries promised the public.

Within a week, they would completely eliminate the Sakuragi Hana Virus epidemic.

They would prioritize the use of the auctioned Detox Pills for epidemic prevention and treatment of severe illnesses.

They would never allow the Detox Pills to become a recreational and wealth-flaunting drug for the wealthy.

Just…

How much longer would they participate in the auction?

How many more would be auctioned?

The auctioned Detox Pills were certainly for treating diseases, but which patients would get priority treatment?

Were they the wealthy and powerful ones?

Avoiding the important issues!

Yet, despite this, many citizens were still convinced.

They believed the Detox Pills that ended up in the hands of the wealthy were those of the kidnappers.

Hundreds of thousands of pills…

If just one could make you as happy as a fairy, it was ordinary for tens of thousands of wealthy individuals to have them.

With this perspective.

The initial hostage situations truly were ‘god-tier maneuvers’.

Not only did they procure hundreds of thousands of Detox Pills from Wu Jie without spending a penny, but they also made a large sum of money by selling them afterward.

So now, some wealthy individuals couldn’t resist showing off online, causing a great controversy; they could also pin the blame on kidnappers, even if more auctioned Detox Pills continued to flow into the market, they might still deflect responsibility this way.

In short.

The ‘kidnappers’ who had vanished without a trace were simply the perfect scapegoats.

Of course.

Those leaked videos weren’t easy to completely erase.

Just like some movies, there would always be experts who download them immediately and share them through various means.

Therefore, those yearning for the Detox Pill could still see just how joyful it was after taking it.

They could still witness how drastically different a normal person looked before and after detoxification and beautification.

As such.

Previously, those who longed for the Detox Pill were gravely ill patients wanting to save their lives.

Now, there were added women who wanted detox and beauty enhancements, addicts wanting to indulge in drugs for fun, and rich people wanting to show off their wealth…

The number of domestic citizens applying for the free drug trial volunteer program became even more extensive.

And overseas citizens wished their pharmaceutical companies could auction off more Detox Pills.

Influenced by this,

The auction that night at midnight veered away from the previous ‘price decline trend’.

Many pharmaceutical companies formed coalitions based on their relationships, earnestly flaunting their wealth.

However…

In the end, it was the consortium formed by over a dozen pharmaceutical companies from the developed nations of Yezhou and Shizhoun continents that had the last laugh.

The 240,000 Detox Pills Wu Jie released were eventually auctioned for a staggering 370,000 each.

And the previous auction only managed a price of 260,000, the price had suddenly soared tremendously.

Of course.

Wu Jie once again became the subject of countless people’s envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Because so many Detox Pills fetched such a high price, the final auction price was absolutely astounding.

888 billion!

Not a penny more, exactly three eights.

And since the public auction began, five public auctions released nearly 800,000 Detox Pills, amassing a total sales volume that had already exceeded 200 billion.

200 billion, what does that amount represent?

A new ten-thousand-ton Missile Destroyer costs 6 billion per vessel.

And an Aircraft Carrier, primarily powered, costs 200 billion per vessel.

Along with the relatively inexpensive comprehensive supply ships, Escort Ships, and various machinery and aircraft…

It was equivalent to contributing two Aircraft Carrier battle groups.

Of course, this was just a metaphor, Wu Jie wouldn’t actually buy aircraft carrier battle groups.

But such a staggering sales figure would undoubtedly yield an incredibly astonishing profit.

In less than three days, the revenue exceeded 200 billion.

Who wouldn’t drool with envy at such a money-sucking ability?

And what drove people insane was that many experts previously analyzed and asserted that the price of Detox Pills was bound to drop.

They believed that as countries continuously intensified their pandemic control, the demand would gradually decrease…

Additionally, it was evident from each auction that the number of Detox Pills Wu Jie released was increasing…

This give-and-take was bound to lead to a price drop.

But who would have thought…

the experts were embarrassed.

Tonight’s fifth auction not only didn’t see a price drop despite an additional 60,000 Detox Pills; the price actually surged by 110,000.

How the hell do you explain that?

What economist, faced with such an absurd result, could do anything but capitulate instantly?

The miracle drug was indeed a miracle drug, no longer explainable by science, completely defying the laws of market economics.

There’s nothing you can do!

Originally thought to be just a miraculous cure, who would have thought that it could also replace cosmetics and skincare products, and even more joyous and pleasurable than taking drugs.

Most crucially, it was beneficial and harmless to the body!

So…

Countless people hoped and anticipated that the price of Detox Pills would drop, but now it wouldn’t drop a damn thing!

Not only did it not drop, but it actually surged tremendously!

On the international black market, due to its detoxification, beautifying, and extreme joy functions, the demand increased and the price strongly broke through the 100,000 Gold Coin mark.

Of course.

Such a sinister speed of making money was indeed envy-inducing.

And there were numerous foreign citizens calling on their governments to act, not letting Wu Jie keep ‘profiteering’ in such a brazen manner.

It wasn’t an officially recognized medicine, not officially on the market for sale, but under the guise of medical cooperation, letting countries purchase voluntarily for trials…

And if something went wrong, they wouldn’t even take responsibility!

Such reasoning was infuriatingly absurd.

Clearly, it had already been verified by tens of thousands of people, already proven to have miraculous effects with no side effects or complications, yet it stubbornly refused to be officially recognized as a medicine, preferring to continue profiting enormously under the guise of ‘trial drugs’.

What to do?

Since they couldn’t directly target the Detox Pills, they sought alternative ways to make Wu Jie bleed money and earn less.

Quite soon.

Some politicians running for office then proposed extreme opinions that resonated with public sentiment.

They claimed that if elected, they would definitely strengthen the scrutiny and regulation of the Detox Pills, and would strictly control the operations of Liulizhou Tanglong Industrial Group.

To ensure their information security, to ensure that their confidential data wasn’t spied on or stolen, they should prohibit the use of the group’s communication products.

Regardless, they felt that since Wu Jie made a lot of money from the Detox Pills, the countries should correspondingly restrict and even sanction the other businesses of Tanglong Industrial Group.

Following the successful bid of the Zhuzhou SAM project, the group also gained a number of communication project orders from neighboring countries.

For the sake of information security, these orders should be canceled, replaced by other manufacturers.

As for communication products, composite materials, electromechanical equipment…

Immediately stop sales and initiate investigations under the pretenses of suspected price dumping, unfair competition, and safety defects, among other reasons.

However…

If it were just politicians and citizens making verbal claims, that would be one thing.

But the key was those who spent too much money competing for Detox Pills, to satisfy their citizens, actually went through with it.

Quite quickly.

Many of Tanglong Industrial Group’s export products and businesses successively suffered heavy blows.

With all kinds of lofty, ambiguous reasoning, they were indefinitely ordered to stop sales and halt production for investigations.

Not specifying a deadline, even less so discussing penalties, just taking it slow.

How long would the investigation last…

that remained unknown.

One piece of bad news after another was relayed back to the domestic citizens, and countless people were utterly stunned.

Was this aiming to retaliate against Wu Jie, to drive Tanglong Group to its death?
